Ramnathi, Goa : Udyog, that means, ut + yoga, achieving spiritual progress, that is, God-realisation through the action means doing ‘Udyog’. Doing sadhana as per the ‘Varna’ (Class), meaning offering our virtues and action to God. Industrialists and business people should do sadhana as per the ‘Vaishya varna’. The main purpose of this shibir is to understand the importance of sadhana in life and how to do sadhana for progressing spiritually, explained Sanatan’s Saint H.H. Ashok Patrikar. He was addressing the gathering assembled for the 3-day ‘Sadhana- shibir for industrialists’ held on behalf of HJS at Sanatan Ashram at Ramnathi. This was His inaugural address.

Offering /donation should be offered to the deserving (Satpatre Danam) ! – Shri. Nagesh Gade, coordinator HJS
Sattvik industrialists and business people have an important role to play in establishing Hindu Rashtra. Most of industrialists and business community desire to offer 15-20 % of their wealth for Dharmakarya (Service unto Dharma). Scriptures too say that ‘Dan’ should always be ‘Satpatre dan’. Nobody except Saints are satpatra in this world; because the real mission of Saints or Guru is to spread, to protect and to establish Dharma. To offer dan to Saints so also organisations, institutions striving for their mission is also Dharmakarya. Offering money for establishing Hindus Rashtra as per the period, is also ‘Satpatre dan’.
